My Take
Tajiri is one of those wrestlers who made you feel the danger the moment his music hit — a guy from Yokohama who went to Philadelphia's ECW and somehow became one of the most legitimately frightening presences in the room, and that's before he ever threw a kick. That buzzsaw leg kick of his wasn't theater; it looked like it actually hurt, because it probably did. His run with WWE in the early 2000s was genuinely fun — the tarantula stretch locked in the ropes, the green mist, the whole "quiet intensity" thing he had — but I always thought he was slightly misused once the gimmick novelty wore off for the bookers. The guy could work. He kept going long after most would have stopped, doing his own thing on the indie scene and in Japan, which honestly says more about a performer's love for the craft than any title reign ever could.
